I sew barefoot or with socks on as I have better control of the foot pedal but on my first Pfaff, I ran into a bizarre problem with the bottom right hand corner of the foot pedal that made a pocket of fluid on the outside edge of my foot. After a year, I can sew on either of my Pfaff's with or without shoes. My new Pfaff has a larger foot pedal and is not an issue. I feel I have greater control of the presser foot without shoes. When I take a machine to our quilt guild meetings though, I do wear shoes there just because I don't want to run around bare foot at the rec center.
